Description of problem: I found that linkchecker no longer works after upgrading from Fedora 23 to 24. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): linkchecker-9.3-4.fc24.x86_64 python-2.7.11-4.fc24.x86_64 How reproducible: Every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. Upgrade to Fedora 24 2. Run linkchecker Actual results: $ linkchecker This program requires Python requests 2.2.0 or later. $ rpm -q python python-2.7.11-4.fc24.x86_64
I found this in linkchecker's __init__.py: import requests if requests.__version__ <= '2.2.0': raise SystemExit("This program requires Python requests 2.2.0 or later.") This lexicographical order check malfunctions on Fedora 24 because of the use of requests 2.10.0. Another user reported this upstream: https://github.com/wummel/linkchecker/issues/649
Upstream commit where this is fixed: https://github.com/wummel/linkchecker/commit/c2ce810c3fb00b895a841a7be6b2e78c64e7b042 However a newer version including this fix is not yet released. Maintainer could you backport the patch or use a git snapshot? This currently breaks builds of python-docs with the same error message.
Created attachment 1181632 [details] python-requests version error fix Here is a patch for the package sources that fixes the issue. It would be great if you could fix it in rawhide as well as F24. Thank you for your time.
